dE,
Surely you can conjure something small which you expect
not to leak memory, but does.
Obviously, there must be a leak in this program, but
sending us this huge file sort of implies that we should
do the debugging and find your memory leak for you.
If you send us something small, as Chris says:
"the smallest compilable program which demonstrates
your problem",
then we can surely easily spot the problem and guide you
on how to fix it, without spending our time doing your homework.
Cheers,
-Tristan
